1 EXT. HOT TRAXX NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT

CAMERA holds on this PACKED disco on Van Nuys Blvd.

TITLE CARD: "San Fernando Valley, 1977"

A CADILLAC SEVILLE pulls up to the valet area and CAMERA (STEADICAM) moves across the street, towards the car, landing close;

From the Seville steps, JACK HORNER (50s) and AMBER WAVES (early 30s).
CAMERA follows them (this is one continous shot) as they pass the crowd,
greet a DOORMAN and enter --

INSIDE THE NIGHTCLUB. Twice as packed inside as outside. Music is full blast. Amber and Jack are greeted by;

MAURICE t.t. RODRIGUEZ (30s). Owner of the nightclub. Puerto Rican. Wearing a suit and fifteen gold chains.

MAURICE

Jackie-Jack-Jack and Miss Lovely Amber Waves --

AMBER

Hi, Maurice.

JACK

You bad ass little spick. How are you, honey?

MAURICE

Pissed off you ain't been around --

JACK

-- I been on vacation.

MAURICE

Don't stay away this long from my

club ever again, Jackie-Jack-Jack.

JACK

I promise.

Maurice takes Amber's hand and gives it a kiss.

MAURICE

You are the foxiest bitch in ten countries.

AMBER

You're such a charmer.

MAURICE

(to Jack)

I got you all set up at your booth.

I wanna send over some clams on the half shell.

JACK

Beautiful.

MAURICE

Just remember, Jack: I'm available

and ready. Cast me and find out --

JACK

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Amber and Jack head off towards the booth. CAMERA stays with Maurice,
follows him to the bar area, where he shouts some orders to a WAITER.

MAURICE

Clams on the half shell to Jack

and Amber -- over there -- go!

The WAITER takes off to the kitchen, Maurice walks onto the dance floor and
greets three people;

REED ROTHCHILD, 20s, tall and skinny, BECKY BARNETT, 20s, black girl in
silk, BUCK SWOPE, 20s, black guy in cowboy gear.

MAURICE

Hello there, kiddies.

REED/BUCK/BECKY

Hi, hey, hi, Maurice.

MAURICE

Having a good time?

BECKY

Excellent.

MAURICE

Great, great, great.

Maurice moves away to greet some more people. CAMERA stays with Reed, Becky
and Buck, does a 360 around them. Reed and Becky Disco Dance. Buck does
some Cowboy-Type Moves.

Moments later, the WAITER carrying clams on the half shell passes and
CAMERA picks up with him, follows him to Jack's booth, where he presents
them;

WAITER

Compliments of Maurice.

JACK

Thank you.

AMBER

Can I get a Marguerita, please?

JACK

Seven-Up, here --

The WAITER exits, CAMERA PANS with him for a moment, leading to a young
girl wearing rollerskates, ROLLERGIRL (aged 18). She always, always wears
rollerskates. CAMERA PANS with her back to Jack's booth.

ROLLERGIRL

Hi.

JACK

Hello, honey.

AMBER

(to Rollergirl)

Did you call that girl today?

ROLLERGIRL

I forgot.

AMBER

If you don't do it tomorrow, then it's

the weekend and you'll never be able to

get in to see her --

ROLLERGIRL

OK.

Rollergirl scratches her crotch as she speaks. Amber notices;

AMBER

What's the matter down there?

ROLLERGIRL

I gotta go pee.

AMBER

Well go, then.

CAMERA stays with Rollergirl, following her across the dance floor. She
passes Buck, Becky and Reed, says hello, dances a moment, then continues on
-- into the clearing off the dance floor, heading for the bathroom. She
passes something, CAMERA moves away towards this something:

A bus boy cleaning a table, EDDIE ADAMS, aged 17. CAMERA moves into a CU --
blending to SLOW MOTION (40fps) for a moment.

(Note: In the text Eddie Adams will be referred to as Dirk Diggler.)

ANGLE, JACK'S TABLE.

Jack turns his head, looks across the dance floor and sees this kid
cleaning the table.

ANGLE, DIRK DIGGLER.

He looks up, catches Jack looking back at him, then turns away, disappears
into a back room.

CAMERA DOLLIES in on Jack, who at that moment, is approached by a figure
entering FRAME. Short, buffed out LITTLE BILL (late 40s). This is Jack's
Assistant Director.

LITTLE BILL

Jack.

JACK

Hey, Little Bill.

LITTLE BILL

Whatsa schedule look like?

Are we still on day after tomorrow?

JACK

I wanna do it the day after

the day after tomorrow.

LITTLE BILL

For sure? Cause I wanna call

Rocky, Scotty, Kurt and all those guys --

Jack's attention is with the backroom that Dirk entered. He stands and
heads away.

JACK

Absolutely. But I wanna keep it small.

I wanna keep a small crew on this one --

LITTLE BILL

-- a relaxed deal.

JACK

Exactly.

LITTLE BILL

Do you have a script yet?

JACK

Tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day --

Jack is off across the dance floor.

BEAT, THEN;

JACK

It seems to me, beneath those jeans,

there's something wonderful just

waiting to get out --

Jack leaves.

16 INT. HIGH SCHOOL CLASSROOM - DAY

A crowded high school geometry classroom. In the back of the class, sitting
at a desk is Rollergirl. A TEACHER walks about, handing out the final exam.
Rollergirl looks it over; a lot of questions, diagrams and generally
confusing material. She looks across the room;

Two BOYS are looking at her and chuckling to themselves. One guy looks to
the other and makes a "blow job" gesture.

She looks away, they continue their gestures and giggling. Other students
notice and smile.

17 INT. SUPER-DUPER STEREO SHOP - DAY

A semi-high end stereo store in the valley. Buck, dressed in his usual
cowboy-digs, is talking to a CUSTOMER about a stereo unit. The manager, a
skinny-white guy with a mustache and mustard suit, JERRY (30s) is standing
nearby.

BUCK

-- so basically you're gettin'

twice the base, cause of the TK421

modification we got in this system here.

CUSTOMER

I don't know - do I need that much bass?

BUCK

If you want a system to handle

what you want -- yes you do.

See this system here. This is Hi-Fi.

"High Fidelity." What that means is

that it's the highest quality fidelity.

CUSTOMER

It's the price --

BUCK

I have this unit at home.

CUSTOMER

. . . really . . . ?

BUCK

Yes. But -- I've got it modified

with the TK421, which is a bass unit

that basically kicks in another two,

maybe three quads when you really

crank -- lemme put another eight track

in so you can get a better idea what

I'm talkin about --

Buck ejects the Eight Track that was playing and puts in his own of a
country western song.

BUCK

Hear that bass? It kicks and turns

and curls up in your belly, makes you

wanna freaky-deaky, right? If you get

this unit as it is -- it won't sound

like this without the modification --

and we do that for a small price.

The Customer listens another moment, then;

CUSTOMER

Thank you for your time.

BUCK

No problem.

The Customer exits and Jerry approaches Buck.

JERRY

. . . the fuck was that?

BUCK

Wha?

JERRY

Have I told you? Huh? Have I?

BUCK

What? I don't --

JERRY

Alright: A.) You play that country

western-crap and no one's gonna buy

a stereo. You throw on some KC and

the Sunshine Band, a guy looks a particular

way -- and you've seen the profile sheet --

you throw on some Led Zeppelin. No.

Instead, you play this twingy-twangy,

yappy-dappy music. What kinda brother

are you anyway, listening to that shit?

BUCK

Hey, Jerry, look --

JERRY

No, you look. I gave you a job here

because I thought your film work

might bring some nice pussy in the

place -- and it has -- but I can't

have anymore fuck ups -- you dig?

BUCK

Yeah.

JERRY

Alright. Go unload the new 484's

from the back room.

Buck goes to the back room.

SHERYL LYNN

Once more.

DIRK

I have to get back to work.

SHERYL LYNN

Give it to me, Eddie.

DIRK

Don't make me pounce you, Sheryl Lynn.

SHERYL LYNN

Ohhhh-baby, baby, baby.

DIRK

I'll do it --

SHERYL LYNN

Promise?

DIRK

That's it.

Dirk jumps up and starts bouncing up and down on the bed, naked and
flapping. She stares at his crotch, shakes her head;

DICK (OC)

What?

SHERYL LYNN

You're so beautiful.

DICK (OC)

Yeah . . .

SHERYL LYNN

Do you know how good you are at

doing this, Eddie? Having sex . . . fucking me . . .

Dirk looks down. BEAT.

DIRK

Everyone has one thing, y'think? I mean:

Everyone is given one special thing . . . . right?

SHERYL LYNN

That's right.

DIRK

Everyone is blessed with One Special Thing.

Dirk kneels down to her;

DIRK

I want you to know: I plan on being a star.

A big, bright shining star. That's what

I want and it's what I'm gonna get.

SHERYL LYNN

Rollergirl in the Seville pull along side him;

Hey. Eddie.

DIRK

Hello. Jack?

JACK

Yeah. You wanna ride?

DIRK

I'm goin' pretty far.

ROLLERGIRL

23. INT. CANDY'S COFFEE SHOP - NIGHT - LATER

In a booth, after the meal. Dirk and Rollergirl on one side, Jack and Amber
on the other.

JACK

This thing here, I mean, you understand

one thing and that's this: It costs.

I mean, this stuff costs good ol' American

Green. You got film, you got lights,

you got sound, lab fees, developing, synching,

editing -- next thing you know you're

spending thirty/forty thousand a picture.

DIRK

That's a lot of money.

JACK

Hell yes it's a lot of money, but lemme

tell you something else: You make a good

film and there's practically no end to the

amount of money you can make, Eddie.

AMBER

Have you seen Jack's house?

CAMERA HOLDS ON AMBER. She watches Dirk.

DIRK (OC)

No.

JACK (OC)

He'll see it.

ROLLERGIRL (OC)

He'll see it.

JACK (OC)

Eddie: You got ten, fifteen people around

and that's just to make sure the lighting is

right . . . shit, this is not an operation for

the weak, and lemme tell you something else:

When all is said and done, you gotta have the

juice, you understand? I mean . . . you can work

on your arms, your legs, workout morning, day,

noon, night, the whole deal, but when it comes

right down to it . . . what we need is Mr. Torpedo

Area, y'understand? Mr. Fun Zone? Okay, let's

say you got that: right? And You Do Got, Yeah?

He looks to Rollergirl. She smiles. CAMERA OFF AMBER NOW.

JACK

I can go out -- tonight -- the reputation

I got: I can find myself 15/20 guys,

cocks the size of Willie Mays Baseball Bat:

Do I want that? No. Do I need that? No.

I need actors.

AMBER

Uhhh-ohhh . . . here we go --

JACK

-- Alright, yeah, I need the big dick,

and the big tits -- that GETS them in

the theater. What keeps them in their

seats even after they've come? Huh?

The beauty and the acting.

If you're able to give it up and show the world:

No, not just your cock. Fuck that.

What I'm talking about is showing your

insides, from your heart . . . you understand?

Hey, Sure: GET THEM IN THE THEATER.

That's one thing. I don't want 'em showing up,

sitting down, jacking off and splitting on

the story. I don't want to make that film.

I wanna make the thing that keeps 'em around

even after they've come . . . what happens when you

come? You're done, you wanna split.

My idea, my goal: Suck 'em in with the

story . . . they'll squirt their load and sit in it . . .

Just To See How The Story Ends.

Sometimes we make these films, we wanna

make people laugh a little, then get into

it and fuck heavy: That's good and that's fine.

But I got a dream of making a film that's

true . . . true and right and dramatic.

DIRK

. . . Right . . . right . . . I understand.

AMBER

Don't listen too hard to all this,

honey . . . it's just nice in theory.

JACK

It's a dream to be able to find

a cock and an actor.

ROLLERGIRL

Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream.

DIRK

If you don't have dreams you have nightmares.

HOLD. Amber, Jack and Rollergirl look at Dirk.

CUT TO:

24 INT. JACK'S HOUSE/LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

CAMERA DOES A 180 AROUND THE MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE, LANDS THE ANGLE WITH

DIRK

JACK

You're sure . . . ?

She's the best, Eddie. A mother.

A real and wonderful mother to all

You're officially out of limes, Jack.

JACK

I'll get you some more tomorrow.

Come over here a minute. Sit next

to Eddie on the couch there.

ROLLERGIRL

Here We Go! Are We Gonna Fuck?

JACK

Yes you are.

ROLLERGIRL

Oh, wait, wait, wait, then.

She rolls over to the Hi-Fi system and picks a record. She sets the needle
on the turntable and rolls over to the couch -- in one swift motion ripping
her clothes off.

ROLLERGIRL

You ready?

DIRK

Are you?

ROLLERGIRL

Ohhh-yeah.

They kiss. They lean back on the couch. Dirk stops a moment.

DIRK

Are you gonna take your skates off?

ROLLERGIRL

I don't take my skates off.

DIRK

Okay.

ROLLERGIRL

Don't fucking come in me.

JACK

Don't come in her, Eddie. I want you

to pull it out and jack off, make sure

you aim it towards her face.

ROLLERGIRL

Fuck you, Jack.

MOTHER

She's a little whore and a little

piece of trash . . . I know you're not

The idea is this: Amber is a director

of porno films and she's down on her luck.

She hasn't had a hit in a year. She's

desperate. Her landlord is threatening to kick her

out, so she's desperate for a big dick hit, right?

COLONEL

Yes. Good dilemma.

JACK

Yes. So she calls up all the agencies

in town and says: "Send over your best

actors, I'm casting a porno picture."

Well, the story goes and develops with

Amber auditioning various men and

women . . . the whole thing wraps up with

the Landlord, I'd like to get Jeremy if

he's still in town to play the part --

he comes in -- the landlord says:

You better pay rent or you're through.

Well, Amber does one helluva suck job,

ass fuck, come in the face, sort of thing

and fade out - the end.

There's a kid, a young man, I met him

last night: His name is Eddie Adams.

Amber at the desk. BEAT, THEN:

AMBER

Hello. Are you John?

DIRK

Yes, ma'am.

AMBER

Your agency recommends you very highly.

DIRK

I'm a really hard worker. You give

me a job and I won't disappoint you.

AMBER

What special skills do you have?

DIRK

Well, I spent three years in the Marines.

I just got back from a tour of duty.

AMBER

You're kidding?

DIRK

No I'm not. It got really hard being

surrounded by guys all day.

AMBER

When was the last time you had a woman?

DIRK

A long time.

AMBER

That's terrible.

DIRK

But I'm back now and I'm ready to pursue

my acting career.

AMBER

Well as you may or may not know, this is an

important film for me. If it's not a hit,

I'm gonna get kicked out of my apartment.

My landlord is a real jerk.

DIRK

Really?

AMBER

Why don't you take your pants off?

It's important that I get an idea of your size.

filming and Dick/Amber making love . . . .

have a cock that big on film --

Dirk hears this and turns to Jack and Little Bill.

Tell me.

DIRK

I don't like to see women treated that way.

This guy he plays, "Johnny Wad," it's always

about slapping some girl around or whatever.

It's not right, it's not cool and it just . . .

isn't sexy. It isn't sexy like it should be.

REED

We could make it more of a James Bond

character. This guy that's world traveled.

JACK

I like that.

DIRK

Reed could play my partner.

JACK

I like this a lot.

DIRK

We could make it really good, Jack.

make a whole series, with a whole story.

This is exactly what we've always talked about.

We should do this.

JACK

Alright. When we get back. We'll set up

DIRK

Wow. I dunno what to say . . . I guess. Wow.

I guess the only thing I can say, is that

I promise to keep rocking and rolling and

to keep making better films. It seems we make

these movies . . . and sometimes . . . they're considered

filthy or something by some people . . . but I don't

think that's true. These films we make can be

better . . . they can help . . . they really can, I mean it.

Yeah . . . yeah. This is an amazing party.

Fuckin' chicks everywhere.

You bet.

TODD

I wouldn't mind havin' some of that

Todd points out a BIKINI PARTY GIRL.

REED

Want me to introduce you?

TODD

Sure. Introduce her to my lap.

REED

You got off work?

I don't dance Sunday nights.

Who's Corvette is that out in the driveway?

Buck and Jessie St. Vincent sitting/talking.

BUCK

I'm pretty happy with it . . .

JESSIE

. . . It's a great look for you, I think.

BUCK

It's sort of original, I think.

JESSIE

Right.

BUCK

What were we talking about before?

JESSIE

Um . . . oil painting . . . ?

BUCK

No . . . yes, I mean . . . but we were talkin'

about . . .

JESSIE

Oh! Oh! "Sunsets."

BUCK

Oh yeah! I was saying: I like sunsets too . . . but . . .

JESSIE

Sunrises are better.

BUCK

Exactly.

JESSIE

I thought I was the only one who thought that.

BUCK

I think that.

JESSIE

I never thought we'd have so much

in common, Buck.

BUCK

Yeah, yeah . . . hey, have you ever heard

of my stereo system?

JESSIE

No.

BUCK

Y'know I'm thinking of opening my

own business --

Really?

BUCK

It's my dream. Hi-Fi Stereo Equipment

JESSIE

CUT TO:

91 INT. JACK'S OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER

Jack, Floyd Gondolli and the Colonel sitting.

FLOYD

. . . so let's talk about the future.

So let's talk about what video means

to this industry -- and let's talk

about how all of us -- not one of us --

but all of us will profit. I've been doing

theater work in San Francisco and San Diego

for as long as you've been doing stag

and hardcore, Jack.

JACK

I know you're history, Floyd.

COLONEL

No one's doubting your history

or your credentials, Floyd.

FLOYD

Then why the resistance? I mean:

This industry is going to be turned

upside down soon enough --

JACK

Then why help it?

FLOYD

Why not be prepared? The money comes

from the Colonel, the talent comes from

you, Jack. I've got a connection to the

equipment and the mail order distribution,

not to mention those kids I got out there

who are hot-fuck-action to the max.

This is the future. Video tape tells the truth.

JACK

I have a stable of actors and actresses.

They're professionals. They're not

a bunch of fucking amateurs. They're

proven box office and they get people

in theaters (where films should be seen)

and they know how to fuck well --

FLOYD

That's right, Jack and by that

same token, you're the one with the

power here. The video revolution

is upon us -- and our role is critical.

We have an obligation to use our resources

and talent to help make it fly --

JACK

You come in here, at my party, tell me about

this and that -- tell me about the future,

tell me about -- video and amateurs and

all that -- well lemme tell you something now:

I will not shoot films on video and no

I will not loan out my actors who are

under contract to me. Period.

FLOYD

Wait a minute, Jack. I'm not a complicated man.

I like cinema. In particular, I like to

see fucking on film. I don't want to win

an Oscar and I don't want to re-invent the

wheel -- I enjoy simple pleasures like butter

in my ass and lollipops in my mouth.

That's me -- call me crazy, call me a pervert,

but this is something I enjoy. One other

small thing I want to do in this life is make

a dollar and a cent in this business -- I'm not

trying to hurt you. I'm trying to help you stay

one step ahead of the game --

JACK

We're repeating ourselves now, Floyd.

COLONEL

Jack, I think this is about cost and future --

JACK

The future is as bright as we make it --

it shouldn't be sacrificed for a few dollars

that can be saved shooting on video tape --

if it looks like shit and sounds like shit,

it probably is shit --

FLOYD

I think you're one gin past this conversation --

JACK

No . . . no. I'm crystal clear here.

COLONEL

Jack, please understand that this is

not an argument . . . this is a fact of --

JACK

. . . What . . . ?

COLONEL

This is not an argument, but a --

JACK

What are you saying?

COLONEL

What do you mean, Jack, c'mon --

JACK

Are you telling me that you're

working with this shit?

COLONEL

I think that there is a serious case

to be made for the price and the gamble

on the whole idea of a home video market --

Jack: Two, three years from now, everyone's

gonna be able to walk into their local

supermarket and buy or rent a videocassette --

JACK

True film fans won't watch that shit.

It doesn't look good and more importantly

it doesn't make sex look sexy.

COLONEL

It doesn't have to look good, Jack.

Film is just too damn expensive.

The theaters are already planning

converting to video projectors.

JACK

I haven't heard that.

FLOYD

It's true.

JACK

We've got ten minutes until the New

Year and I don't want it to start like this

so I'm leaving now. We will or we won't

continue this conversation some other time.

Jack leaves. Floyd looks to the Colonel. HOLD.

DIRK

DIRK

DON'T YOU FUCKIN TOUCH ME, MAN.

Jack SLAPS Dirk across the face. HOLD. Dirk is shocked. Everyone has
stopped what they're doing by now and is watching nervously. Amber comes

Amber's ex-husband, THOMAS (late 30s) steps in with his LAWYER. They all
take seats.

LAWYER

Hello, Judge.

Introductions happen, etc. BEAT. The Judge looks over some files;

JUDGE

You've been divorced for six years.

AMBER

Yes. Since 1977.

JUDGE

(to lawyer)

And the agreement on the money settlement

was taken care of?

LAWYER

Yes.

JUDGE

So. What we're talking about then

is coming to an agreement on custody of Andrew?

AMBER

Yes.

JUDGE

What was decided during the divorce?

LAWYER

Initially, Andrew went with his father,

and visitation was given to his mother on --

(looks at a paper)

from Saturday Noon to Sunday at seven.

With his mother entitled to bring Andrew

to her home or any reasonable place.

JUDGE

(to Amber)

Was that the understanding?

AMBER

Yes.

JUDGE

And why wasn't that visiting privilege honored?

THOMAS

Well, it was for a time --

AMBER

I only saw him twice.

THOMAS

It said, "reasonable place," and I didn't

think a house of drugs and prostitution

and pornography was that.

JUDGE

I'm sorry, what is it that you --

THOMAS

My ex-wife is involved in the pornography

business -- I didn't think that environment

was a safe place for my son.

AMBER

This is not right. My son was never

exposed to pornographic material or

drugs or any of these things, my husband

just assumed --

THOMAS

I saw it with my own eye.

PAUSE. Amber has no response. The Judge looks down at the file.

JUDGE

Did you register this as a complaint?

LAWYER

My client didn't officially register,

but I think the circumstance called

for something immediate -- for the

safety of the child.

JUDGE

How old is the boy now?

THOMAS

He's twelve.

AMBER

He'll be thirteen next month.

JUDGE

Where do you live now?

THOMAS

We live in Long Beach. I have a job

there and my new wife is home with him.

(pause)

You see, the problem is, Judge, is that

my ex-wife is a sick . . . she is a very sick

person and she needs help. She deals in

drugs and sex for a living --

AMBER

I don't do drugs.

LAWYER

Your honor, she has been in and out

of trouble with the law on quite a few

occasions regarding this sort of thing.

AMBER

No. No. Not anymore

CAMERA HOLDS ON AMBER. She watches the Judge. OC there's the sound of
papers shuffling.

JUDGE (OC)

Have you ever been arrested?

AMBER

Yes.

JUDGE (OC)

When was the last time you were

arrested . . . what was the charge . . . ?

full-length fur coat, lingerie underneath.

JACK (into CAMERA)

Okay, okay, okay. Welcome to the experiment.

This is Jack Horner, coming to you from the

inside of a limousine that at this moment

is heading West down Ventura Blvd. I have

with me -- a little princess in the world

of adult film -- the lovely Miss Rollergirl.

ROLLERGIRL

Hello, hello, howdy.

JACK

Are you ready to do what we're gonna do?

ROLLERGIRL

Ready, ready. Ready like Freddy.

JACK

We are On The Lookout. That's what

we'll call this -- On The Lookout.

We're just gonna drive on down Ventura,

heading west, like I said -- and see

what we find. Maybe we find some new,

young stud who wants to take a shot

and get hot and heavy with Rollergirl

back here in the limo -- and we'll capture

it on video. This is a first, ladies and

gentleman. A first in porn history.

Who knows what could happen . . . ?

Maybe we come across some guy, maybe some girl?

See if they'd like to get soft and sticky?

Dirk, Reed, Todd and Scotty J. have moved into a small motel with two beds

dressed in his UNION 76 GAS STATION UNIFORM.

Dirk is getting dressed, Reed is trying to get his attention;

DIRK

Where the fuck is Todd?

REED

C'mon, Dirk, seriously --

DIRK

What? I dunno, okay? Okay. I don't know.

REED

We have to sell your car.

DIRK

I will not do it, Reed.

REED

What else is there to do, Dirk?

Huh? We have nothing left.

DIRK

I worked way too fucking hard for

that car . . . what am I supposed to do . . . ?

REED

It solves all our problems.

DIRK

I will not sell my Corvette: Simple as that.

Where the fuck is Todd? Where are my jeans?

SCOTTY J.

What are you looking for?

DIRK

My jeans --

SCOTTY J.

The cool ones with the thing?

DIRK

All my jeans are cool, Scotty.

SCOTTY

Sorry.

Todd enters and holds up an ENVELOPE.

TODD

Got it.

DIRK

Where the fuck have you been?

TODD

Getting some shit . . .

Dirk notices that Todd is wearing the JEANS he was looking for.

DIRK

What the fuck is that?

TODD

What?

DIRK

Those are my jeans, Todd. I've

been looking for those.

TODD

You said I could borrow them.

DIRK

I never said that.

TODD

I thought you did.

SCOTTY J.

Can I come with you, Dirk?

DIRK

Give me my fuckin' jeans back, Todd. Seriously.

TODD

Sorry.

Todd gets out of the jeans and gives them over to Dirk, who puts them on as
Reed and Scotty look on;

REED

Dirk, please -- we gotta deal with

this money situation.

DIRK

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SCOTTY J.

Where are you goin', Dirk?

DIRK

Goin' out.

SCOTTY J.

YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT, wearing a backpack. (This kid is one of the boys who

COLLEGE KID

I dunno -- you mean it.

JACK

Anything you wanna do -- you do it.

Do you see this young lady here?

COLLEGE KID

Yeah.

JACK

You like what you see?

COLLEGE KID

Sure.

JACK

Then get in here and do what you want.

The College Kid gets in the car, sits next to Rollergirl, who nods hello.
She may or may not recognize him. Jack gets in the seat opposite (behind
the CAMERA).

JACK

You a student?

COLLEGE KID

Um . . . um . . . yeah.

JACK

Oh, great. Where do you go to school?

COLLEGE KID

Um . . . uh . . . do I have to say?

We watch your films in my frat house.

I go to CSUN. The fuckin' guys are never

ROLLERGIRL

Hello.

DIRK

Hey.

164 INT. LIMO - MOVING - MOMENTS LATER

The limo is moving now. Jack is sitting behind the CAMERA. The LIGHT held
above the Camcorder SHINES brightly on them.

Rollergirl and the College Kid struggle in the seat. He has some trouble
removing his pants and she tries to help a little, but it's pretty obvious
she's not enjoying this. Jack tries to coach them from the sidelines;

JACK

Alright, there, pal; make it look

good, make it sexy -- don't just ram

your way up and in there --

The College Kid doesn't respond.

JACK

Hey, hey, hey . . . take it slow and

make it kinky, kid. C'mon.

Think of Miss Lovely Rollergirl

as a beautiful instrument that you

need to play . . . c'mon now . . . slow down . . .

Pretend you're just a wonderful stud,

just ready to melt her pussy . . . hey, kid . . . ?

Are you listening to me? Hey -- hey --

COLLEGE KID

Just let me do my thing, man.

JACK

Cut. Stop. Cut.

The College Kid looks a little pissed, Rollergirl pushes him off;

ROLLERGIRL

This is stupid, Jack.

JACK

I know . . . this isn't working out.

COLLEGE KID

That's it?

JACK (OC)

Yeah, that's all. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The College Kid pulls his pants on.

COLLEGE KID

You got me hard -- you could at least

jack me off or something, lady.

ROLLERGIRL

What the fuck did you say?

COLLEGE KID

It's not so cool to leave me

with a hard on.

ROLLERGIRL

Fuck you.

COLLEGE KID

Nice life you've got here. Should

be proud of what you've become . . .

The College Kid laughs a little, heads out of the car, turns back to Jack
and says:

COLLEGE KID

Your fuckin' films suck now anyway.

Dirk nods, looks down.

SURFER

Why don't you jerk it a little,

get it hard? I wanna see it get hard.

Dirk's hand touches his cock and he starts to masturbate a little. The
Surfer kid watches. CAMERA BEGINS A PAINFULLY SLOW ZOOM INTO PROFILE XCU.

Dirk does it harder and faster.

SURFER

Get your hand wet.

DIRK

Dirk tries to do it faster and harder.

SURFER

Dirk tries harder and faster but only gets more frustrated. He verges on
tears, looks to the Surfer Kid.

DIRK

I can't . . . I can't get it hard . . . I can't.

I'm sorry --

SUDDENLY:

A PICK-UP TRUCK carrying THREE PUNK KIDS SLAMS ON ITS BRAKES IN FRONT OF
DIRK IN THE TOYOTA. Dirk looks up in shock, turns his head to the Surfer
Kid who says;

They continue to yell and scream and kick and punch Dirk and eventually
peel out of the parking lot. Dirk moans and cries and holds his stomach in
pain. He coughs up some blood and vomit . .

Alright. I think this could be the thing.

Something to help us score a little extra cash.

I think if we decide to do this, we gotta

be one hundred percent.

REED

I agree.

TODD

This guy's name is Rahad Jackson.

He's got more money than God and twice

as much coke, crack and smack. He'll buy

just about anything anybody wants to sell him.

He just likes people hanging out at his house

and partying.

DIRK

How do you know him?

TODD

He used to come into Party Boys

once in a while. Mutrix introduced me --

DIRK

And how would we do it, exactly?

I mean, how would it all go down?

TODD

It's like this: I call him up,

tell him I got half a key of quality stuff.

REED

Do you have his phone number?

TODD

Yeah. So we call him up, give him the price.

DIRK

How much?

TODD

Half a key for like . . . five thousand bucks.

Split it three ways --

DIRK

That's enough to get my Vette fixed.

TODD

That's right. So we set up the deal,

dump half a kilo of baking soda in a

bag and walk over to his house -- BOOM.

Right there -- this could be a nifty bit

o' hustle-bustle.

REED

Do you have his address?

TODD

Fuckin', Reed, yeah I have his address, c'mon.

DIRK

What if he tests it out?

TODD

He won't.

DIRK

How do you know?

TODD

I know he won't. I'm positive. Believe me.

REED

It's a pretty good idea.

DIRK

I think we should go for it.

Scotty J. comes over to the table.

SCOTTY J.

You guys should be careful with this.

DIRK

Scotty?

SCOTTY J.

What?

DIRK

Just . . . y'know . . . mind yer own business.

Okay.

TODD

You guys ready for this?

REED

I am.

TODD

Dirk?

DIRK

Me? Yeah . . . yeah, I'm ready. I was born ready.

TODD

Alright.

Todd takes out a .45 AUTOMATIC PISTOL and loads a cartridge.

DIRK

What the fuck is that?

TODD

It's a big gun.

DIRK

I know, but why?

TODD

Just in case, just in case. Let's go.

They pile out of the damaged Corvette and walk up. CAMERA (STEADICAM)
follows them.

REED

I'm nervous.

TODD

It'll be okay.

REED

Let's get in and out, in and out.

TODD

Not too quick -- that looks suspicious.

Lemme do the talking --

They arrive and ring the doorbell.

CUT TO:

173 INT. RAHAD JACKSON'S HOUSE - NIGHT - THAT MOMENT

A really big fat black BODYGUARD comes to the door and opens up:

BODYGUARD

Hello. Come on in.

The bodyguard leads them down a hall and into a tacky and spacious, sunken
LIVING ROOM.

They're greeted by a man in a silk robe, slightly open to show some bikini
briefs and a thin sheen of sweat covering his body: RAHAD JACKSON (late
40s).

Off in a corner of the room, a YOUNG ASIAN KID is casually throwing some
FIRECRACKERS around.

Rahad is DANCING around by himself to NIGHT RANGER, "SISTER CHRISTIAN." He
spots the men;

RAHAD

Hello, friends. Which one is Todd?

TODD

That's me. We met before at the club --

RAHAD

Oh, yeah. Come on in here.

TODD

These are my friends Dirk and Reed.

RAHAD

Great to meet you. You guys want something

to drink -- or a pill -- or some coke --

or some dope?

DIRK/REED/TODD

No thank you, thanks, no.

RAHAD

So what do we have, we have, something, yeah?

TODD

Here it is . . . half a key . . . it's really good,

if you wanna test it out --

RAHAD

Oh, wait a minute, I love this part:

(sings along)

"SISTER CHRISTIAN, THERE'S SO MUCH

IN LIFE, DON'T YOU GIVE IT UP BEFORE

YOUR TIME IS DUE . . . IT'S TRUE!"

(to Dirk)

This song is so amazing.

Anyway: What's the price?

TODD

We were thinking five thousand.

RAHAD

That's good. No problem, cool, cool.

The Bodyguard brings over a PAPER BAG FULL OF CASH and hands the bag to
Todd in exchange for the PAPER BAG FULL OF BAKING SODA.

Reed watches the Bodyguard take the bag and notices something. REED'S POV:
a SHOULDER HOLSTER holds a .45 Automatic Pistol.

Rahad does an air guitar solo to the Night Ranger song . . . he walks
across the room, picks up a COKE PIPE and looks to the guys;

RAHAD

You wanna play baseball?

DIRK/REED/TODD

No thank you.

Rahad strokes the pipe while dancing. Dirk looks across to an open bedroom
door.

DIRK'S POV: Through the crack in the door, we can see a bloody, battered
YOUNG BLACK WOMAN in a silk robe . . .she's followed by another YOUNG WHITE
GIRL in nothing.

RAHAD (OC)

Check this out --

He takes out a nickel plated REVOLVER and loads a single bullet, spins the
chamber and puts it to his head and sings;

RAHAD

SISTER CHRISTIAN -- OH THE TIME HAS

COME . . . AND YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE

THE ONLY ONE TO SAY . . . OK . . .

He pulls the trigger . . . Click . . . he smiles and casually speaks;

RAHAD

I put a mix tape together of all

my favorite songs . . . This is song number

three . . . I love putting mix tapes together,

you know . . . if you buy an album or tape or

something, those guys put the songs in their

order and they try and say how you should listen

to the songs, but I don't like that.

I don't like to be told what to listen

to, when to listen to or anything . . .

The Night Ranger song FADES OUT . . . BEAT . . . Rahad smiles at the Asian
Kid who's casually throwing some firecrackers around.

RAHAD

(to Dirk/Reed/Todd)

He's Chinese . . . he loves to set

off firecrackers . . .

REO SPEEDWAGON, "CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING," begins to play.

RAHAD

I CAN'T FIGHT THIS FEELING ANY LONGER

AND YET I'm STILL AFRAID TO LET IT FLOW.

WHAT STARTED OUT AS FRIENDSHIP HAS GROWN

STRONGER -- I ONLY WISH I HAD THE STRENGTH

TO LET IT SHOW --

DIRK

Well . . . I think maybe . . . we better get going --

RAHAD

No, stay. Hang out. We'll party.

DIRK

No, we really gotta split.

We have to be somewhere and we --

Dirk and Rahad continue to haggle about leaving/not leaving. CAMERA BEGINS
A SLOW DOLLY INTO A CU ON TODD.

TODD

We're Not Leaving Yet.

Dirk and Reed look at Todd. He stands up.

TODD

We're here now and we want something else.

Hey -- Hey. We Want Something Else From You.

RAHAD

What?

DIRK

Todd -- what the hell are you doing?

TODD

In the master bedroom, under the bed,

in a floor safe . . . You understand?

The Bodyguard turns his head. Dirk and Reed are confused;

DIRK

Todd . . . what the fuck, man, c'mon --

TODD

Shut up, Dirk. I told you I got a plan.

I got a good plan.

RAHAD

Are you kiddin' me kittie?

TODD

No I'm not. I'm not kidding. We want

what's in the safe. We want what's in

the safe in the floor under the bed in

the master bedroom.

DIRK

Todd -- don't be crazy.

(to Rahad)

Sir -- we don't know anything about this.

This is not the thing that we wanted.

TODD

SHUT THE FUCK UP, DIRK.

The BODYGUARD reaches into his coat . . .

. . . Todd pulls his REVOLVER quickly and AIMS at the Bodyguard.

TODD

Don't reach for your gun.

. . . Rahad reacts by AIMING HIS GUN AT TODD . . .

RAHAD

You don't wanna do this, friendly.

TODD

You've only got one bullet.

Rahad PULLS THE TRIGGER . . . a bullet FIRES from the gun and strikes Todd
in the SHOULDER . . . the gun in his hand falls to the floor and he
stumbles back . . .

. . . The Bodyguard takes this moment to GRAB HIS OWN GUN from the holster
and FIRE off shots at Dirk and Reed . . .

. . . Bullets graze past them and they DUCK FOR COVER . . .

. . . The GIRLS in the bedroom SCREAM and SHOUT at the gunfire . . .

. . . A STRAY BULLET HITS the ASIAN KID in the heart, but he doesn't fall .
. .

. . . TODD reaches hold of his gun, crouches for cover and FIRES a bullet
STRAIGHT INTO the Bodyguard . . . who falls back DEAD . . . Todd looks
right and sees:

RAHAD scuttles into the bedroom with the women . . . Todd looks over his
shoulder to Dirk and Reed;

DIRK

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, TODD?

TODD

He went in the bedroom.

DIRK

ARE YOU CRAZY? WHEN DID YOU GO CRAZY?

TODD

He's got cash and coke in the safe

under the bed -- if we leave here

without it we're fools.

REED

Let's just split, let's just split

right now, Todd. Don't be stupid.

This wasn't part of the deal.

TODD

I'm goin' in that bedroom and get what's

in that safe. Are you coming?

DIRK

Fuck no. Todd. Don't. Don't do it.

Todd gets up and heads for the bedroom with his revolver at the ready . . .
he inches closer to the door and twists the door knob, then KICKS THE DOOR
OPEN;

. . . Rahad is standing right there, holding a SAWED OFF SHOTGUN. He pulls
the trigger . . . Todd blinks . . .

. . . Rahad's SHOTGUN BLAST blows Todd BACK and UP in the air about fifteen
feet . . . he FALLS to the ground with a HOLE in his STOMACH about the size
of a basketball . . . Rahad calls out to Dirk and Reed;

RAHAD

C'mon out, little puppies. You want to

come and see, come and see, to get what

is coming down. Coming down.

Rahad peers out from his bedroom, sees a sliver of Dirk behind the wall.
Rahad FIRES HIS SHOTGUN . . . which cuts right past Dirk's head and SHREDS
the wall near him . . .
